Snowboarding GPS Data

February 15th, 2011 | Category: Outdoors

I’m posting GPS data from a snowboarding trip to Mount Snow in Vermont captured with the Google My Tracks app for Android. The XML Google Maps plugin for WordPress is pretty useful here. The only disappointing thing is that there isn’t a parameter to set the granularity when producing the altitude and speed graphs when using the plugin, as far as I know. The My Tracks app claims a top speed of 35 MPH (!), which isn’t illustrated in the speed graph. It looks like the plugin does a simple downsampling of the data, so it misses some detail. Still pretty cool though! Make sure to check out the map using the Google Earth plugin for a 3D view of the mountain.

This is all of the snowboarding we did before lunch. In other news, the battery life of the HTC Incredible sucks, so there’s no data after lunch.
